University Growing with Communities
School of Continuing Education

As a second college the school has approximately 50 varying programs every year, re-educating almost 1000 students. SNU was appointed as the Regional Information Center for Continuing Education in Jeonnam Province by the Ministry of Education. It has since taken a leading role in the development of Human Resources.

Farming Promotion Center
The center has taken a motivated role, running the highest level managerial courses, and supporting the export of regional farming products abroad through an exchange with the Taiwan Farming Association.

SNU has been conducting various globalization programs such as International Academic Conferences, a variety of seminars, and Student and Faculty exchanges to name a few. The globalized mind is a driving force in the growth from a regionalized Korean university to one that competes with those of the world. Those who unequivocally pursue their hopes and dreams, who seek the challenges inherent in a globalized world, find a home here. Our students explored five oceans and six territories, contributing to the educational quality of the university while broadening their own educational experiences. This knowledge proves to be an invaluable asset towards our commitment to contributing to the world.

Pursuing to Conduct Globalization and Localization, SNU cultivates regional leaders to lead a new millenium

International Exchanges Cooperation
International Memorandum of Exchanges with eight countries and nineteen universities or colleges have expanded and strengthened academic cooperation programs like student exchanges and have become the foundation for students who are developing and international global awareness and the skills associated with it.

Establishing and supporting the Educational Center for Mongolian Farming Trainees, we are teaching professors and students from the Mongolian Agricultural College, advanced agricultural techniques. On the other hand, to learn advanced IT Techniques, we sent sixty students to Neru University in India each year. We are also opening a Learning Korea program and invite students from sister colleges to teach our language and culture. This results in introducing and advertising Korea as an advanced culture.
